Line Drawing

[laguna92651]

Can someone point me to a site where I can get line drawings similar to these two drawings, both characters and objects.



Are there any tutorials on using the sketch tool, tried a little with a Wacom table, but wasn't very successful.
Thanks

I personally use my mouse to draw lines around objects.

I'm not sure what program your using but here is a tutorial that may be helpful http://www.xaraxone.com/tutorials/dr...nts-episode-1/

I'm using Xara Graphics 10.0

that is not mouse lineart surely; if it is someone had a lot of time to spare..

if I were doing it with a wacom I would do it in a raster program such as painter or sai or manga studio and then vector it afterwards with vector magic, totalvectorize or inkscape if necessary

you can probably do the first in xara given practice using the freehand tool and the wacom, but the second one looks like a caligraphy pen and xara does not have one [although you might be able to fudge it with the shapebuilder tool - but that tool being screen pixels only does not make for a pleasant workflow in this regard]

laguna - Do you want to create these line drawings or do you want to purchase them as clip art?

Always like a challenge Handrawn. 100% Xara, 10 minutes, didn't use the trace tool, Only Shape Editor tool & a mouse.

thing is that is a very loose drawing - if I spent more than 1min making it from scratch with a calligraphy pen I would be worried [about me]

Well, initially I was going to draw them, but my first couple of attempts were lousy. Haven't tried painter yet as mentioned above. I'm thinking might be more cost effective to buy, if price reasonable enough, looks like you can buy a subscription at some sites. In the end I need svg files, doing a whiteboard animation.

Looks really good, do you have an art background or just a good eye?

[laguna92651]

Paint seemed much easier to draw in for me. I'm just doing these basic line drawings, do SAI or Manga Studio offer anything that I might need for such basic drawings. Is there any sw out there that might have a library of figures and objects of the style I'm interested in? Any recommendations on software for creating a whiteboard animation video, want to animate the redraw of the object.
